TOWN OF PONTEDEUME

•

• Legend has it that a young rich girl crossed to

the other side of the river to see her wealth. But

the river level rose sharply and broke her boat.

• A man passing by offered help but she had to

sign a scroll in return. She desperately signed the

agreement without reading it.

•

• The gentleman carried out the agreement and

under a strong smell of sulfur it appeared a

bridge that allowed the lady to go back to her

castle.

THE LEGEND

Two years later, the man reappeared and ask the lady for her soul, as she had

promised.

This man was the devil! He took the girl to the highest part of the bridge and

ordered her to throw herself.

She was terrified and sought help of the Holy Spirit and this cause the flight of

her captor.

In gratitude the girl had built a chapel and the bridge was called Ponte (bridge)

do demo (devil) that later led to PONTEDEUME.

Fishing is one of the economical

engines of the town

All year long, various festivals and traditions fill

the streets.
